Autistic Sixth Grader Essay

428 Words2 Pages

This petition is for an autistic sixth grader. Let me pause. An autistic sixth grader!!!!!! The story goes as follows, an autistic sixth grader was spotted by a school resource officer kicking a trash can in frustration. And so filed him under a disorderly conduct charge in juvenile court. Not two weeks later, as class was finishing he was told to stay awhile after, but disobeyed. He was found by THIS SAME officer who grabbed Kayleb to take him to the principal’s office. As he tried to push away from the officer, he was slammed down and then handcuffed. Now he is facing a felony assault against a police officer and yet another disorderly conduct charge. Let me just take this moment to express how ridiculous this is. IT’S FREAKING RIDICULOUS!!! …show more content…

Being grabbed as an autistic kid sets off alarms, and he doesn’t see the intentions of the officer. At this point Kayleb is probably frightened out of his wits. Furthermore, if you know that he’s autistic you handle the situation differently. Like finding a teacher he trusts instead of using such aggressive means. He’s an ELEVEN year old with autism being thrown to the ground as if he’s a terrorist with a bomb. Taking another moment to express how ridiculous this is. I have three friends with autism. And yes I try to treat them as I would anyone else but I have to always remind myself there are things with them that ARE different. As someone pursuing a career in law enforcement I can’t help but hope that I don’t make such ridiculous decisions. Yes it’s a felony to harm an officer, but damn guy, don’t be such a girl about it. I’ve seen in many occasions where officers overreact and/or take advantage of their certain privileges. And maybe I’m not in the best position to make this accusation but I believe that this is an abuse of power. This ELEVEN year old boy shouldn’t have to live his life with a record just because this officer is sensitive as my

The shooting happened July 27, 2013 and ended the life of Sammy Yatim. A short summary of what happened was that Yatim pulled out a knife and was waving it around on the TTC, he told everyone to exit the bus and he put no one in harm. James Forcillo and his partner were the first to arrive at the scene and don’t Yatim multiple times to “drop the knife”.

    This was unusual behavior for a minor traffic stop, but Bryan was not threatening or trying to run. My first thoughts of seeing an offender acting erratic, would be drug related. The first steps the officer should have tried was to walk closer to him and start talking and asking questions. This would give you a better idea, if the young man was just upset or on drugs. At the time the officer used his taser, there was no confrontation or resisting taking

    By Khalil not doing what he was told and making a scene, he may not have been thinking of the consequences that would happen next. By not giving the paperwork needed and not listening to the police officer's instructions, gave the officer a reason to believe that he is up to no good and caused the officer to have a bad impression of Khalil. Then when Kahlil finally gave the officer his license and registration, the officer started to ask questions about what Starr and him are up to. Again, Khalil doesn’t answer the questions and makes witty comments back “One-Fifteen looks over them: “Where are you two coming from tonight?”

    It is very common for a child with Autism to have outburst frequently; therefore, it is important to know how to control the situation. Then her teacher allowed Daisy time and space to calm down. Daisy’s teacher gave her support at recess by allowing her a quiet, “safe” environment and a special way of “connecting” with other kids through a popular common interest, Buster. I really liked how the school principal, teacher, special education staff, and parents did there best to work as a team and find it important for all of us to do this when working with students. The school also had an older student, matching Daisy’s interest, who was enlisted as a “buddy”.
